CURTAIN FIXTURE Filed Jan. 22, 1934 Patented Feb. 11, 1936 UNI-TED STATES PATENT OFFICE 4 Claims.

This invention relates to improvements in curtain xtures, and has for its object to provide a curtain pole bracket fixture hingedly mounted upon a window frame, whereby the brackets may 5 be let down when desired to receive or release a curtain pole or rod within reach of a person standing on the iioor.

Another object of the invention is to provide a curtain xture including a U-bar bracket member adapted to be hngedly mounted intermediate of a window frame and means whereby the same may be instantly raised or lowered for the purpose of attaching or detaching a curtain rod or for dusting the same, and the top of a curtain on the rod.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a curtain pole bracket fixed to the central part o-f a window frame, and so arranged that a curtain pole attached thereto may be instantly raised to the top of the window and secured there, or let down to within convenient reach of a person on the iioor.

With the above and such other objects in view as may hereinafter more fully appear, I have invented the device shown in the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a window, embracing my invention;

Figure 2 is a side elevational view thereof;

and

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the xture removed from the Window frame.

Like reference characters indicate like parts, throughout the following specification and in the several views in the drawing in which I indicates a window frame, to the central part 2 of which is pivotally mounted a U-shaped xture 3, through eyes 4 and 5, at the terminals 6 and 1 of the parallel arms 8 and 9, of said U-member and the large headed screws or pins I0 and Il. At approximately the points I2 and I3, where the arms 8 and 9 meet, the cross head I4', are carried brackets I5 and I6 to receive a removable pole I1 for a curtain or the like I8. Attached, as at I9, to the head bar I4, is one end of a cord 20, which is threaded through an eye or pulley 2|, secured at the upper end 22 of said window frame I, and from which member 2| 5 the cord drops to the lower portion of the frame I, and is secured to a hook or other similar device 22 attached to the lower portion 23 of said frame, whereby the fixtures may be held in raised position, as indicated in Figure 1 of the drawing. By releasing cord 20 the iixture may be caused to swing down to a position, as indicated in Figure 2 of the drawing, in order that the head 24 of the curtain I8 and the pole and fixture may be dusted, or the pole released from or attached to the iixture by a person standing on the iioor. By drawing down on the knot 25 on the free end of the cord 20, the fixture may be quickly drawn to its raised position and held there by securing said knot in hook 22.

Having described my invention, that which I claim to be new, and desire to procure by letters Patent is:

1. A curtain fixture consisting of a single piece of material formed U-shape, and terminating at each end in pivot eyes, and hooks formed on the parallel arms of said U-member.

2. A curtain fixture consisting of a single piece of material formed U-shape, and terminating at each end in pivot eyes, and hooks formed on the parallel arms of said U-member, adjacent the upper end thereof.

3. A curtain xture consisting of a single piece of material formed U-shape, and terminating at each end in pivot eyes, and hooks formed on the parallel arms oi said U-member, adjacent the upper end thereof, the cross head of said U-member having an eye at one end thereof.

4. The device, as claimed in claim 3, and means connected with said eye whereby the iixture may be raised and lowered.
